S70 Noise Only When Braking?

Post by MarquemVolvo »

Hi. Wonder if anyone can help me with my S70. In last week or so I have noticed that when I brake, a sound/vibration becomes noticeable (like the sound of going over 'rumble strips'). Thought this might be the need for new front discs and pads, so I replaced these today. Unfortunately no change. ps. tyre wear appears perfect, wheels balanced, the sound remains the same on breaking with clutch in or out. The problem sound slows as the car slows down. Anyone have any ideas please.

When you had the pads replaced did they inspect the rotors. sounds like a similar problem I'm having. my rotors were rusted/pitted from non-use for about a week in the rain. Could also be warping a little.

How are the back rotors . The calipers tend to stick.
